You know, I have to salute you for the work you were able to do with the second one. I am gifted with a vast vocabulary and immensely powerful grasp of the English language, and as an Indian, that is not that easy of an achievement to come by, and I can only attribute that to mum, who forced me to read all manner of books right from the time I learned how alphabets worked (I was a truly obstinate child, so in my case brute force was necessary). But to retrace one's steps in the building blocks of a teenager could prove unbelievably more challenging, and having been just as obstinate in those years myself, and the trouble my parents have had keeping me in line at the time, I gotta hand it to you...its pretty damn impressive.

Kudos to you, ma'am! ;)
